Near-Death Experiences and Parenting: What NDEs Teach Us About Raising Children. What invitation is embedded in the LOVE and luminosity that so many of us experience? When I was a young mother, I was involved in a fatal car crash, and immediately soared out of my broken body into fields of love. An invitation to recall who I am, who we all are. 

Following the car crash and my NDE, I went through long months of physical recovery and integrating my divine experience into my life. My one motivation was becoming my daughters’ mother. Join me, as I share my insights of sacred parenting. What makes us our child’s parent beyond the doing and what universal soul promises did we all make to our children?

Life Beyond Death: The (Ignored) Evidence. Since Mesmer, it has been proven that human magnetism interferes with health. With Allan Kardec this assertion was experimentally confirmed in The Book of Mediums. Nowadays, there is scientific evidence that human magnetism affects plants, animals and humans, positively or negatively, according to the quality of the energy exhaled by the magnetizer.

José Lucas, Portuguese, 62 years old, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Portuguese Air Force, has been studying and researching spiritist facts for 40 years. Founder of the Spiritist Culture Center of Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, he has 5 spiritist books published by the Portuguese Spiritist Federation (with all rights donated to the publisher). 

He is a lecturer in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil, as well as a practicing medium. He has been a guest commentator on Portuguese television multiple times, offering insights on spiritualist topics. Additionally, he is the organizer of the annual Western Spiritist Culture Days, now in its 17th edition.

Inner-standing Spiritually Transformative Experiences. The ultimate purpose of all Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs) is to serve as an invitation to Self-Realization—a call to explore the true source of not only an STE but of all experiences. This journey of self-inquiry is deepened through the fundamental spiritual question: “Who or what am I?” Alongside variations of this inquiry, awareness-rooted meditation integrates the process into a profound and holistic exploration.

This timeless path dissolves the layers of mistaken identity—the belief that one is solely the body-mind or the emotional pain body. More importantly, it unveils the true source of inner peace. In this talk and experiential session with Philip, the essence of Self-Realization is conveyed with simplicity, clarity, and compassion, offering a transformative understanding and access to universal wisdom.

Philip Wade’s journey from Chartered Civil Engineer to spiritual guide was an unexpected yet monumental transformation. His work has profoundly impacted countless lives through the direct, experiential realization of the true Self—an essence revealed to him as “Infinite Silence.”

In 2009, he left behind a successful career to follow an unwavering inner calling, stepping into the unknown with deep trust and no predetermined outcome. Over years of meditation and global sharing, profound wisdom emerged, shaping his teachings. With a foundation rooted in the practical, physical world and a heart attuned to the infinite depths of spiritual awakening, Philip draws from his own life’s journey—a path marked by profound spiritual experiences and transformative challenges that unveiled the simplicity and profundity of ultimate truth.

Through compassionate, clear, and empowering guidance, he demystifies and simplifies the process of Self-Realization, offering seekers a direct path to discovering their true nature.
